Waging War

The media seems to be losing interest in the war in Iraq. I don't usually think of the U.S. as a country at war-probably because the war is being fought on another continent while our borders are secure. What has made me contemplate the state of war and our situation/involvement in Iraq? There is a billboard by our house that says "What make us different?" The answer: unity. Compared to Iraq with the tension between Sunnis, Shiites, and Kurds the U.S. is a united country. Yes, we are all different whether conservative or liberal, different races, and so on but we are Americans above all else. There is a blog that was written by a girl in Iraq called Burning Baghdad . The last post is dated October 22, 2007 but it will make your heart hurt. If your interested in the viewpoint of someone who has seen firsthand (from the viewpoint of those who live there) what is happening in Iraq I recommend checking this blog out.
